The biggest battle we fight each day begins between the ears on our own head!
2 Corinthians 10:4-5, (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Every temptation begins in our mind. We see something, smell something, hear something, taste something and then our will begins to fight with the Spirit. What we do next will either deliver us from sin or it will lead us deeper into it. The more we give place to it, the darker the sin will become.
A man doesn’t wake up one day and kill their neighbor that is loud and obnoxious. Over a progression of time, not dealing with sin, will lead to some dark times in our life! We must reel our thoughts in, saturate them with the Truth of God’s Word, and repent! God will give the victory
Will you win the battle of the flesh today? Or, will you succumb to the temptation to reject God’s authority in your life? The choice is up to you!
